The S.S. TOPAZ was built in 1956 at the FAIRFIELD SHIPBUILDING AND ENGINEERING shipyard at Govan in SCOTLAND, she was launched by the QUEEN on the 22sd of June of 1956 she had a GT of 25.516 tons and a service speed of 20 knots and of course her original name was the famous EMPRESS OF BRITAIN, she was a remarkable vessel who finished her days at Alang in INDIA in 2008 when she was sold for scrap. I have fond memories of seeing this ship in different places, here for everyone to enjoy a picture taken in Barcelona in 2001
